Dressed rabbits in waistcoats and bonnets, with a basket of snowdrops at their feet, make this Easter greeting stand apart from the plain painted eggs and chicks that filled most holiday cards of its era. Postcards like this were popular around the turn of the twentieth century, when illustrated greetings were mailed in large numbers and printed in bright color lithography. Anthropomorphic animals acting out human scenes were a favorite of illustrators at the time, and the snowdrop, one of the first flowers to bloom in late winter, tied the card to the season of renewal that Easter celebrates. Look closely at the small details of the costumes and the flowers, which show how much care went into these inexpensive cards.
